asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to announce the names of the members of the African Commission?

Mr. THOMAS:

I regret that I am not yet in a position to give the names of the members of the Commission which is to visit East Africa. The House will probably wish me to take this opportunity to announce the constitution of the East African Committee, as far as it has yet been completed. I am still in communication with two or three hon. Members whose assistance I hope to obtain. I am glad to say that all parties are represented:

• The Right Honourable Lord Southborough, Chairman.
• Mr. R. N. Barclay, the hon. Member for the Exchange Division of Manchester.
• Captain R. Berkeley, the hon. Member for Nottingham Central.
• Mr. John Harris, the hon. Member for North Hackney.
• Mr. T. E. Harvey, the hon. Member for Dewsbury.
• Sir Sydney Henn, the hon. Member for Blackburn.
• Mr. E. D. Morel, the hon. Member for Dundee.
• The Honourable William Ormsby-Gore, the hon. Member for Stafford.
• Mr. H. Snell, the hon. Member for East Woolwich.
• Dr. Andrew Balfour, Sir Henry Birchenough, Mr. C. Roden Buxton, Sir Hugh Clifford, Sir H. Rider Haggard, Lieut.-Colonel F. D. Hammond, Mr. W. H. Himbury, Mr. J. H. Oldham.
